iperf server side does not quit

[S Pazouki]

Does it normal that the iperf in the server side does not quit even when the iperf on the client side exits the function after finishes?

[S Pazouki]

to explain the issue more in detail, I am running iperf on one BBB as a server and on the other BBB as a client to measure the throughput.

TX Client-side: sudo iperf -c 192.168.0.2 -u -b 400k -l 800 -p 10001 -t 100

RX Server-side: sudo iperf -u -l 800 -s -i3 -B 192.168.0.2 -p 10001

after printing the result, the client iperf quits its function but the server stays in it.

Off-hand, I'd expect a server to remain running... Waiting for the
/next/ client to connect.

One connection at a time, but nothing says only one connection per
invocation!
